People have been trying to call a top in the solar energy stocks for months now but the good news just keeps on coming in this sector and it remains white hot..

Today’s trade features a former high flying IPO that shot up out of gates over 100% after going public in 2004 but has been mired in a long downtrend over the past few years.
